This group will return meeting in mid-2025.
Contemporary art from all media often forms the context of our work as art quilters and textile artists. This group aims to provide a casual, supportive, open-minded place for us to actively learn as we discuss and become familiar with contemporary art and artists.
This group provides an important resource for those who want to grow as artists and understand today's art landscape. It is an opportunity for someone not deeply involved in the art world to learn about contemporary artists, discuss them, and hear a variety of opinions about their work.
Each month, a featured artist is selected along with some materials to read and/or watch (usually requires less than an hour of your time). Then, on the 4th Tuesday of the month (1pm ET - time zone converter), you will join a live moderated discussion on the Zoom platform (see Connection Information below).
It’s fascinating to hear other people’s thoughts and so energizing to have thoughtful and engaging discussions about an interesting artist and the broader art world. It’s a simple format - you can join just for one meeting or attend them all.
